Sts. Peter & Paul (SPPP) had been working with the Society of the Precious Blood Mission Coordinator, Fr. Bill Nordenbrock, to find a sister parish in Guatemala. Pastoral Council formally approved the CPPS Parish Twinning Program in February 2001.
The Precious Blood Society sponsors twinning
programs to:
·
foster relationships between CPPS
led faith communities in the

model our belief that we are all
members of the One Body of Christ, the one Universal
We have formed a Sister Parish Committee which
is responsible for:

maintaining and fostering the
relationship with their sister community; this includes a willingness to visit
the sister community in the missions
·
keeping their parish informed about
the twinning relationships and its activities
